What is the si base unit for capacity?

There is no SI base unit for capacity. In order to express capacity using SI units, you must resort to a derived unit, such as m³ or cm³ (cubic meters or cubic centimeters). In the metric system, the measurement of Liters (or Litres) may be used, but this is not an SI unit. One liter is equal to 1 dm³ (one cubic decimeter), which is a derived SI unit.


What is the basic unit of capacity in SI?

There is no SI base unit for capacity. It isn't needed. Capacity (volume) is any unit of length, cubed, so all you need is a length unit. The SI unit of length is the 'meter' in the US and Canada. In many other places, the corresponding unit is the 'metre'. Their magnitudes are equal, by international agreement, and they can be used interchangeably. Units of capacity that derive from the meter/metre include the cm3, the liter, the cubic meter, the cubic kilometer, the mL, and others.

It's volume. CommentA gram is a submultiple of the SI base unit for mass, the kilogram.


Is the standard unit for measuring capacity in the metric system?

If you mean capacity as in volume: the basic unit is cubic meters, since lengths are measured in meters. Of course, cubic centimeters, cubic millimeters, or cubic kilometers can be used as well, depending on the application.If you mean capacitance: the modern version of the metric system, the SI, the basic unit is the Farad. Since in practice this is a very large unit, usually smaller multiples are used, such as microfarad, nanofarad, or picofarad.AnswerThere are just seven base units in the SI system. 'Capacity', in the sense of volume, is measured in cubic metres which is a derived unit, not a base unit.
